Maybe if I eat this stuff I won't have to worry about those embarrassing moments.

The smelly reality is that cows will always pass gas. But if farmers had more access to seaweed, cow flatulence might just stink a little less for the planet.
That’s the thesis of a New England-based aquaculture company which is launching a drive to become the worldwide leader in an emerging effort to thwart climate change by feeding seaweed to cows.
The concept of reducing livestock emissions by using seaweed as feed is the subject of ongoing scientific research, and early results are promising. University of California researchers have found that cows that eat seaweed appear to emit less methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, when they belch and pass gas.

Harvesting, processing and transporting seaweed all the way to the cows won’t cause more global warming? Please explain.
Farm boys say no. GMO a cow with only 1 or 2 stomachs, then, maybe.
Pales in comparison to our college frat boxer dog pet, Shamar. Worst case was when she was having a bad dream . . .
I bought some seaweed crackers on Amazon before.
They were rather good.
These people obviously have never lived near a poultry or hog farm
Kick the rich people off the coasts and bring in the cattle
Sounds like cruelty to animals.
Or hung out with kav and the boys
There are a gazillion more methane making insects such as termites which emit far more methane, but the libs don’t care about them since they have nothing to do with western lifestyles...
News from 2025 — “We are killing the oceans! Our insatiable harvesting of precious seaweed is causing massive extinction of all sealife! Within 10 years, there will be no fish left!!!!!!!!!”
Yea, but what about gassy sea cows?
And, cows are the only ones to be targeted. But, they don't take into consideration all the other ruminants that have 4 stomachs. For instance, deer, elk, moose, wildebeests, water buffalo, sheep and the list goes on. Of course, don't forget horses. Even though they only have the one stomach, they fart up a storm.
Just to confuse these twits even more let us consider humans. A Canadian study that was conducted some years ago found that female humans passed an average of 3 l. of gas a day, and males 3.3 . a day.
So, there are an estimated 7 billion humans on the face of the earth, probably more than all of the 4 stomach animals.
Do a little math. Maybe these scientists, so-called, might consider restricting their own gas expulsions.
As an additional benefit, dairy farmers would need less salt blocks.
I recommend we do something about the “hot air” coming out of Marxist RATs mouths and MSM be stopped to save the planet.
Anyone signing on to that?
Boof! LOL
Any kid that ever went to camp, college or the military has complaints
